On-Campus Housing
We strongly recommend that students - all international undergraduates, including transfer students -who qualify and want on-campus housing should apply as early as possible and complete a housing contract. The availability of rooms in the residence halls is quite limited, especially single rooms, and most rooms for new students accommodate more than two people. The cost of housing varies by the type of room and the meal plan chosen. Move-in day is Monday, May 7, 2018.
Before you sign a contract to live on campus, be sure that you read the contract thoroughly and that you want on-campus housing. The housing contract is for the length of the summer term.
Note: The deadline to cancel a housing contract is
May 1, 2018
. University Housing can be contacted at housing@osu.edu and by phone at 614-292-8266.
Off-Campus Housing
If you are interested in living off-campus, we recommend you start your search with Off-Campus and Commuter Student Services. This website maintains an online housing search with information on accommodations both within walking distance and driving distance to campus.
Student Legal Services (SLS) is a team of legal professionals providing legal services to Ohio State students. Eligible students pay an annual participation fee for the SLS legal services plan. SLS's scope of services includes Landlord-Tenant disputes.
Before you sign a lease to live off-campus, you should get your lease reviewed by SLS. If legal issues arise when you're moving and living off-campus, you can meet with SLS staff to discuss your legal rights and options. Students are strongly urged to pay this annual fee in order to utilize the great services the Student Legal Services provides.
To reach Off-Campus and Commuter Student Services, call 614-292-0100 or email offcampus@osu.edu.
